It is pretty simply to design a standard muscular male form that can be adapted to each clothed figure that meets it's requirements. When it comes to forms like Arnold's they should take the extra time and effort to match his form.

yeah i can understand where your coming from. but you have to admit. things have gotten better in certain aspects in design and quality (meaning likeness and details) compared from 10 years ago and from when they first started. im confident that things will only progress even better with each passing year. at least im hoping and  
now, i would like to add that i would like to see the likenesses and proportions to be more film accurate on all pieces that are produced from a film. specially the SW ones.

Looks good but after passing on the Storm Trooper I lost interest in this line. The only one I'd buy is a new Darth Vader.

yeah i hear ya on the ST. i dont know what they couldn't at least get the helmet to be film accurate. to armor seemed to be ok for the most part. would have loved to have seen a film accurate ANH stunt helmet on the ST PF.
only way im buying the new Vader PF if its film accurate in design and proportions. hoping and praying its not another ANH DV fiasco.

Things are getting better, agreed whole heartedly, I simply want to know who is missing these small flaws? I simply would like to see SS give the collectors more bang for their buck, Gladiator Hulk was certainly a step in the right direction. Had hulk been slightly bigger and the base several inches shorter it would have been nearly ideal for the price. The real factor with that statue is the level of detail put into it.
Once SS fixes their pricing practices and their proportions, they would simply need to focus on QC and everything will fall into place.

You make it sound so easy! And I too hope it does but they are long way off from being great in my book! In the last year or two things have gotten very sloppy Nd changing designs without informing customers is bad business practice and ethics!
If any business can succeed its sideshow but they better start proving themselves worthy or ill take my hard earned money and business somewhere else!

I like it. I like this alot more than I thought I would.
I am not interested in the Excl. part.
I will be waiting for Snow Trooper statue when it's released and get this from some place in europe.
Edit.
This new Premium format is not as nice as I first thought it was.
I will not be buying.

Nice....but a pass for me.....That's $380.00 I could use on something else.....also a little bit overprice imo.

I noticed that too. Perhaps they can feed him a biscuit between now and when the production pieces come out to give at least his arms more mass! 
Other than that - this is a pretty sweet piece. I'm having difficulty pulling the trigger with the $380 price tag...
